Grace had definitely looked better, by the time Sina was done with her.

"I've lived in this town since the 1800's watched it grow and expand, watched my family come and go while I remain young thanks to my craft."

"So what, you're feeding off them to…?"

"Feeding off of them, how repulsive. I'm a witch dear, not one of those mangy flea bags or blood suckers." Grace laughed.

"So how do you possibly stay so young? Some popular Hollywood Diet, Paleo? Weight Watchers? Santa Clarita?" Sina was growing more irritated.

"Quiescis." She found herself unable to speak as Sina circled around her again

"I find you very Annoying, little girl."


"Where the GPS taking us, Sam?"

"166 Lilly street, Lake crystal."

"Dammit! Call Cas, were gonna need him on this one."

"Are you sure, Dean? I mean I think we can handle a single witch." Dean gave his brother a look.

"Just call Cas, alright." Same rose his hands defensively and pulled out his phone.


Another piercing scream echoed in the basement of Sina's House "Secare!"

"STOP!" Graces voice echoed In the damp almost empty space, bloody tears streaked her face.

"Answer my question, Winchester. Why are you hunting me? up until our little party here, I've done nothing wrong except kill a few homeless folks who no one would miss, but a witch needs her spell ingredients." She flashed a twisted grin

Grace new she shouldn't have been so rash about leaving her brothers at the diner, but Dean had managed to piss her off and Sam had just sat there, but it was her fault she was even here, and she knew that.

The sound of footsteps upstairs roused her from her thoughts.

"Sounds like the party came to us." Sina flashed a wicked grin as she cast the silencing spell again before going back upstairs.


"Hello Boys." Sam and Dean aimed their guns at the woman who'd emerged, "Where is she?"

"I'm sure I don't know who you're talking about."

"The girl, where is she?" Castiel frowned at the woman's act of ignorance.

"Ah, so the Winchesters are keeping an Angel, How adorable." Now all of them frowned. "It's true, I do have your little sister, but I'm not going to just give her back to you."

"Then we'll kill you and just take her back." Dean informed her, cocking the gun and preparing to shoot.

"I'm quite old, dear. Bullets won't kill me."

"Oh, these will. Trust me. Now tell us where you have Grace." There as a warning tone to his voice now as he silently signaled for Sam and Castiel to start looking, Sam's gun still aimed as he inched around the woman, who rolled her eyes and with a flick of her wrist sent him flying into the nearest wall.

"Children shouldn't play with such dangerous toys." Sina said, scolding him like a mother would her own child.


Grace had managed to unbind her hands and was working on her feet when a sudden loud crash echoed from the upstairs area.

"What the hell?" she scrambled to get the ropes untied faster, once she was free she hurried as fast as she could, despite injury, to get upstairs. As soon as she flung the door open though she ducked, Sina caught sight of her and slammed the door shut again, sealing it with magic.

"HEY!" she kicked at the door, trying to get it to budge but to no avail.

"Son of a bitch" it was then that she realized the woman had left her book of spells down stairs and she grinned.


"Cas, the basement!" The angel seemed to understand and disappeared, popping himself into the dingy space while Dean tried to keep her distracted long enough.

"Grace?" She grabbed Sina's book before hurrying over, the Angel noted how bad a shape she was in as she came into his line of vision.

"Castiel?"

"They told me to come get you, She's giving them a serious fight up there."

"I found her book." Grace said holding it out to him, "Think you can get it back to the bunker and come back?"

"But I'm just supposed to get—" She cut him off and pointed to the window "I've got this, just take the book so it's safe, Castiel."

"You're in no shape to fight." She frowned, he'd never been this stubborn before, usually he'd have done as he was asked. She stepped towards him and he got a much better look at the extent of her injuries.

"Castiel. Please? I'll be fine." Her blood-stained face drew into a smile but he still looked uncertain.

"Fine, but first…" He looked towards the door at the top of the stairs and focused his energy into blasting it apart. Grace looked stunned.

"I didn't know you could do that." He seemed to shrug of her astonishment as she handed him the book and he disappeared.


Sam and dean were not doing so well against Sina when grace finally managed to get out of the basement.

"Hey, bitch!" Sina whipped around, forgetting about the brothers for a moment.

"How did you possibly get out of there?" Grace smirked "Angel Mojo." She then looked at her brothers.

"Remind me never to piss Cas, off." Dean just grinned at his sister, as Sina rose a hand to knock her back.

"I sent your grimoire somewhere far away as well, somewhere you'll never find it." Sam and dean looked mildly impressed, Grace hadn't been on many hunts as per Deans commands, but the ones she had been on she had proven to be quite useful in securing things that could be useful.

"You sent my book with the angel!?" Grace just beamed before she was sent flying into the china hutch, Dean too the opportunity to take a shot, catching Sina in the shoulder. She stood stunned for a second before rounding and sending him flying.

"HEY!" Sam had flung his gun over to her while Dean had distracted Sina, Grace was now back on her feet, her fingers all set to pull the trigger. "What goes Cackle, Cackle, Boom?" Sina looked confused, this was hardly a time for jokes, she got ready to blast the young Winchester again but before she had a chance Grace fired.

"You." the bullet went right through Sina's head and her body dropped. Sam and Dean walked over to observe Sina's dead body. "Nice shot" Grace handed the gun back to Sam who tucked it away.

"Thanks. I've been practicing." Dean clapped a hand on her shoulder, "You did good kid." She puffed out her cheeks like a child "Way to ruin the moment, Dean." Castiel chose that moment to reappear.

"Grace, the book is…" he stopped seeing Sina's dead body, he looked at the three siblings.

"We had it handled, thanks Cas." She smiled as she headed for the door As Sam poured gasoline over Sina's body and Dean dropped the match.


They all piled into the back of the Impala and started the long drive back to Kansas.

"Hey, I'm sorry about back at the diner." Grace feigned shock, "What, the great Dean Winchester is apologizing to me? Will miracles never cease?" Sam and dean both cracked smiles.

"Shut up." He said laughing as they continued driving, Cas cut into the fun they were having.

"Grace?" She turned to look at the angel, "Yeah?" Was there a hint of concern in his voice, or maybe it was annoyance.

"Why did you run off?" there it was…the huge elephant in the room.

"Cas, Just drop it. we've worked past it." Dean informed him

"She could have gotten herself killed, Dean." Grace was getting annoyed now.

"Castiel." He turned to look at her, and for a second she swore she could see something in his eyes, Anger…Fear?

"I don't want to lose any of you, not after all I've done to make sure you stay safe."

"I don't need protecting Castiel, I'm a big girl and I can handle myself." Whatever it was that was in his eyes before grew, it was definitely anger.

"Can this fight wait until we're back to the bunker?"

"I'm not Angry with you, Grace."

"Really, could of fooled me with the dad tone." She reciprocated his tone, "Because up until the last month or so you've ignored the very fact that I existed." His eyes narrowed, "I was not ignoring you… I just wasn't sure I could trust you." Open mouth and insert foot, Castiel had managed to piss her off now.

"You weren't sure you could trust me? Oh well that makes everything okay now doesn't it, Castiel?" you could hear Sam take in a sharp breath from the front seat.

"Grace that's not what I—"

"I see how it is, after all I've been through since they let me start hunting, you think I'm waiting for the moment to kill them, you think I'm a demon or one of the creatures they hunt. If that's the case why didn't you just let me die back in the hospital?"

"Because Dean asked me to—"

"Oh, Dean asked you to save me?" she glared "And you love Dean so much you'll do anything for him, except trust his family."

"You're only half family." He really should have shut up because the second after he had said that he felt a sharp pain across his face as she slapped him.

"Fuck you, Castiel." Dean cut into their conversation,

"Cas, Maybe you should just go."

"Yeah Cas, Maye you should pull one of your vanishing acts. You're real good at that." He looked wounded now as Grace spoke.

"Alright…call me if you need my help." And with that he was gone.
